It was 82* with almost 80% humidity.


My brother got his stang down to 13.1@108


So it was a good day - just chased my ass trying to make the car hook.

What a day. Car wouldn't hook and I wasn't the only one. The starting line was tore to shit from the snowmobile races that were going on.


It went 11.696@119.34 with a 1.704 60ft

The 5000 is out now too and not much more.


Youtube has a bunch of clips comparing them:

For the price I'd try the SJCAM 4000 - be warned there are a lot of fakes out there.

I'd give up a little quality for a $300 saving. It'd get your feet wet and then you could decide if you want a better one, and if it falls off and gets ran over....

The cannabis helps a lot - but you don't get much done when you use it. I try to get thru most of the day without it, but in the afternoon thru the night I need it. I did have a good streak going and didn't need the cannabis for a month, so there is a lot of hope.

Got the skinnies on today. I've been battling opiate withdrawl for the last couple weeks. My doctor and I decided it would be a good idea to try and reduce my dose, but it hasn't worked out so good. Fentanyl withdrawl sucks. I go to the doctor on monday to try and figure something out.

Brad my fronts are a pain. The hawk pads dust like crazy - but I like to know the car will stop from 130+.

Might polish the wheels too - I've been feeling like crap and in pain so I might say fuck it, probably will powdercoat them in the future anyways. It's so much less maintenance
